FORWARD

Xingyi, Xingy, and Hsing I in all its names, styles and forms remains the most formidable fighting art inside the martial arena.  Few books have been written on the vast subject of Xinyi and Xingyi Quan.  Translations have been presented from masters such as Sun Lu Tang, Wang Shu Chin, Wang Xiangzhai, Jiang Rong-qiao, Bao Ding, and Li Chunyi.  The three main branches of Xinyi Quan are from the Henan, Hebei, and Shangxi provinces. These different regions have provided us with an endless amount of scholars and  practitioners coming forward and expressing  their various interpretations of the sacred art.  Inside these schools, we have what we call in the west, mystery schools and esoteric teachings.  The Muslims in Henan and Hebei have developed what we could consider as hidden fists and secret techniques that few people in the west have had the opportunity to witness.  In Shangxi they practice a version that seems closer to a shaolin monk interpretation.  Masters have argued that the branch closest to the original article must have developed in Henan or Hebei.  Many problems and questions arise when investigating the true origins of the art and the idea that the General Yueh Fei was the originator remains questionable.  One thing is for sure is that he definitely understood some of the key underlying philosophy's and concepts of the skill based on the manuals that he has left behind.  We will leave this historical matter for the historians to debate over.  The purpose of this book is to analyze the existing styles and their applications for the sake of real time self defense and fighting. This book outlines the forms from each school using a picture presentation that allows the reader to see not only the idle forms but also the transitional movements for better clarity of reproduction during practice.  All twelve  of the animal forms and sets are included as well as a inclusive look into the hidden fist and methods from these regions that to my knowledge have not yet been publicly divulged.  INCOGNITO  follows a novice to denizens approach to Xingyi and Xinyi Quan.  The basic concepts of stance, footwork, and philosophy are explained in detail for the beginners. The book quickly moves into advanced forms, sets, and techniques to tickle the fancy, so to say, of the masters of this craft.  Each school of thought has taken its own ideas of the applications involved in the vast forms presented before you.  I have taken it upon myself to delineate all the possible usages of each form for combat purposes.  Many of the techniques serve multiple purposes which are explained in full detail through out this  text.  Also included are a look at three great masters of Xinyi Quan; Wang Xiangzhai, Wang Shu Chin, and Guo Yun Shen.  In addition to the 5 basic elements, 12 animal forms, various opening stances, Siba routine, Shanxi routine, Dai routine, the three treasures, muslim advanced forms, and hidden techniques from Henan, we will also discuss street fighting, defense against shoot fighters, and the ever elusive 52 Handblocks Jailhouse Fighting System that has been kept secretive within the black community.  This book is great for martial artist's looking to pick up advanced Yi, Xinyi and Xingyi Quan forms within the comfort of your own home.  Transitional photos make it easy to follow the forms and how they unfold within the sets.  For those seeking balance exercises and true Fa Jing power we have outlined the best exercises to connect Balance, Breathing, and Force to help generate Chi or (Energy) that we hope will prove to be enlightening and useful.  I present before you at this time the fight monk classic  ICONGNITO.

CHAPTER ONE

THE THREE MASTERS

The three masters that we will be taking a look at in this chapter are:  Wang Shu Chin, Wang Xiangzhai, and Guo Yunshen.  Guo Yunshen became famous for his deadly

Beng Quan punch or divine crushing fist.  (For those unfamiliar with the Beng Quan punch it will be explained in later chapters.)  Many written accounts recall his fights that sometimes ended in the opponent's early death.  One such event landed Guo in jail which gave him more time to contemplate and practice his honed abilities.  Guo was a famous practitioner of the art and eventually would teach the famed Wang Xiangzhai.  While Wang was just a young boy he come under the tutelage of Guo and noticed that he was practicing strange movements that were not familiar to his practice sessions.  Eventually Guo would grow in appreciation for the young Wang and teach him his inner most guarded techniques.  It was said that the stomping foot of Guo was like a thunder clap, thus reminding us of the weighted stomping in Xingyi.  A secret technique that was passed down was the falling back punch.  This punch is executed in a timely fashion while the body's weight is falling backwards on the rear foot.  This punch can catch a invader off guard and cause stunning impact in a fight.  This technique though still practiced is rarely seen in today's Xingyi circles.  Below we will look at pictures of a perfectly executed drop back step by Wang Chu Jin.
